    Abstract: An article of clothing to protect the wearer against airborne contaminants including but not limited to allergens, bacteria, mold, and viruses such as H1N1 and avian flu. The garment incorporates a HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filter or enhanced HEPA filter, where such enhancements may include but are not limited to improved anti-microbial properties such as a copper filter which reduces or eliminates the MRSA virus. The garment may be, but is not limited to, a sweatshirt (“hoodie”), jacket, shirt, blouse, scarf, vest, athletic wear, or hooded cap crafted of any fabric. The HEPA filter may be a permanently installed washable filter or a removable replaceable filter or incorporate portions of both. The HEPA filter is placed such that it covers the wearer's nose and mouth; such placement may optionally require the wearer to make attachments or the placement may be automatic.
